Registration for the 39th Annual Waterloo Disc Golf Classic is now open! The flyer doesn’t really translate well to a post like this, but if you want a copy emailed to you, just send me an email at gordo@discgordo.com or waterloodgc@gmail.com.

We will try to get the flyer and the entry form posted as google documents or something similar that can be accessed by a link. In the meantime, we have copied the text version of the entry form below.

You must either mail in your entry, with payment, or bring it to Zilker on Thursday evenings to give to me (Gordon). Postmark or the date I receive it in my hand will determine your date of entry. If there will be a Thursday when I can’t make it to Zilker, then I’ll designate the person who is running the mini/league that night to take them. Otherwise they need to come to me, not to someone else to give to me. Sorry, but no online registration and no electronic payment is available.

FOR TOMORROW NIGHT (Thursday, August 18th), I will be at Zilker Park for a little while to collect tournament entries even though league has been cancelled. I will be there from 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm, either by the hole #1 teebox or in the parking lot by #1 if it is raining (in which case look for my blue Toyota Sienna mini van).

We have about 90 Father Dave McC-Note Challengers right now (half-full), so that leaves about 90 spaces available. But don’t wait, the tournament usually fills up within 5 – 10 days; mail your entry in ASAP to secure your spot in this fun, awesome tournament.

Also, even though registration is now open, you can still take the Father Dave McC-Note Challenge. It no longer has the benefit of saving your spot, but you will still be helping out the charity plus you’ll get a cool McC-Note goodie in your player’s pack and you’ll have an extra CTP each round that is for McC-Noters only. Every year a number of people do this, you can be one of them this year.

Hosted by Waterloo Disc Golf Club, this is a PDGA “C” tier event at the historic Hancock Golf Course at E. 41st & Red River, just north of downtown Austin. Proceeds from this tournament (including $1 per person per round) go to the Austin Ronald McDonald House and disc golf projects in Austin’s parks. There will be two great “Waterloo Park” style disc golf courses at Hancock.

All Singles players MUST check in at Tournament HQ either Friday between 3:00 – 7:00 pm or Saturday between 7:30 – 8:30 am. Anyone not checked in by 8:30 am Saturday morning will be dropped and the spot filled with someone from the waitlist.

Doubles will be on Friday; Bring your own partner, $13 per person (includes $5 greens fee for the round); flex start tee off begins at 11:00 am and continues until around 4:45 pm. Play either course, or get there early and play them both.

* The Father Dave McC-Note Challenge is still available – it covers entry, ace pot, ring of fire & PDGA non-active fee (does not cover Friday Doubles). Balance donated to the charity.
** Juniors will play up to one round per day in between the main rounds
*** all players (except juniors) who are not active PDGA members must pay an additional $10 PDGA non-active fee

Thanks!

The Waterloo Disc Golf Club is proud to announce that it is hosting the 39th Annual Waterloo Disc Golf Classic in Austin, TX on October 14-16, 2016. This historic disc golf tournament is the longest running tournament in the Southwestern U.S. and one of the oldest in the world. This year’s event will be held at the historic Hancock Golf Course, the very first ball golf course in Austin. We will be setting up two full 18-hole disc golf courses at Hancock. Austin’s oldest disc golf event happens at Austin’s oldest ball golf course, it is going to be a fantastic weekend!

The 39th Annual Waterloo Disc Golf Classic will again benefit the Austin Ronald McDonald House (RMH). The RMH is a wonderful non-profit, charitable organization that provides a home away from home for families with critically ill children undergoing treatment at area hospitals. This allows parents the chance to be close to their children at a time when they are needed most.

Last year’s donation to RMH was $9,400, and the tournament’s grand total over the years is now $107,943. The goal for 2016 is to raise $10,000, and our sponsors are crucial to this effort. Won’t you please help by supporting this wonderful tournament? Sponsorship can be in the form of cash, merchandise, or a combination of the two.

• For a sponsorship of $250 or more: your logo or name on the back of the official tournament shirt and on two tee-box signs (one sign on each course). Plus, you may also display one of your banners at tournament headquarters. Your logo/name also will be added to the Sponsor List that will be displayed at the course and included in the tournament program.

• For $150 - $249: your logo/name on two tee-box signs and on the Sponsor List.

• For up to $149: your name on the Sponsor List.

Please mail all sponsorship to Waterloo Disc Golf Club, PO Box 33531 Austin, TX, 78764 (checks payable to Waterloo DGC). If you wish, you may make your check payable directly to Austin Ronald McDonald House in order to get the tax benefits of a charitable donation. For more information, please contact Gordon Kelley at gordo@discgordo.com or waterloodgc@gmail.com, or call the Waterloo Club cell phone 512-994-9508.
Thank you for your support!

We have said for many years now that regular registration for the annual Waterloo Disc Golf Classic tournament usually starts EITHER when we get to about 1 ½ months out (around the beginning of September) OR when we get ½ full with Father Dave McC-Note Challengers. Some years it has been the former, other years it has been the latter.

We aren’t to the half-way full point quite yet but we are getting close, so now is a great time to get your McC-Note in to save your spot before regular registration opens up for the 39th Annual Waterloo DG Classic. Once we do open up registration, those spots go fast. Even though there will be around 90 available, they still usually sell out within 5 – 10 days.

To reserve your spot by taking the Father Dave McC-Note Challenge: send the Waterloo Club a check or money order for $100 now. Send it, payable to WDGC, to: WDGC, PO Box 33531, Austin, TX 78764. Please include your full name, email and/or phone number, division, and pdga number (if you have one).

You can also bring your payment and info to give to Gordon in person at League at Zilker on Thursday evenings. If paying in person, you can also pay with cash (please do NOT mail cash).

Below are the full details of the “Challenge” as well as the people who have already reserved a spot in this year’s tournament.

Also… it is still okay to be a McC-Note Challenger even after regular registration has opened up. Lots of people do that every year. It no longer has the benefit of saving a spot but it does help raise money for the charity, it does get you the ‘McC-Note Goodie’ in your player’s package, and we do have CTPs during the tournament for McC-Note Challengers only. Lots of good reasons to do it anyway.

DETAILS:
Here are the details of how to reserve your spot by taking the Father Dave McC-Note Challenge: send the Waterloo Club a check or money order for $100 now. Your spot in the tournament is guaranteed. When fees for the different divisions are set, we will deduct from your $100: your entry fee; ace pot; ring-of-fire; and non-active pdga fee (if applicable).

All the money left goes directly to the charity. For the past three years at Hancock, we have averaged 106 McC-Noters, which added an average of $3,000 each year to the total charitable donation! You will also receive a special “McC-Note Goodie” in your player’s package.

To clarify something that comes up occasionally: this money saves “your” spot, not “a” spot. Once the tournament fills up and there is a waitlist, if you have to cancel you can’t just give your spot to someone else. As with any cancellation, the spot goes to the next person on the waitlist. If you do have to cancel, you will receive a refund of everything except what would have gone to the charity (and that money will still be added to the donation).

You must either mail in your entry, with payment, or bring it to Zilker on Thursday evenings to give to me (Gordon). Postmark or the date I receive it in my hand will determine your date of entry.
~ If there will be a Thursday when I can’t make it to Zilker, then I’ll designate the person who is running the mini/league that night to take them. Otherwise they need to come to me, not to someone else to give to me.

Sorry, but no online registration and no electronic payment is available.

We have about 90 Father Dave McC-Note Challengers right now (half-full), so that leaves about 90 spaces available.
But don’t wait, the tournament usually fills up within 7 – 10 days; mail your entry in ASAP to secure your spot in this fun, awesome tournament.

Also, even though registration is now open, you can still take the Father Dave McC-Note Challenge. It no longer has the benefit of saving your spot, but you will still be helping out the charity plus you’ll get a cool McC-Note goodie in your player’s pack and you’ll have an extra CTP each round that is for McC-Noters only. Every year a number of people do this, you can be one of them this year.
